Let me say this:
I appreciate each person who's active on Hive! And while I can understand where acidyo & co. are coming from, this constant fight about the rewards pool is polarizing this community ever since I came here in August 2017.
Considering that we're in crypto, where people want to get the biggest gains and freedom via DeFi, NFTs, DOGE, etc - I find it quite sad that Hive is going into the exact opposite - high entry barriers: 13 weeks powerdown, at least 10 daily interactions (autovoting is a quick&dirty fix and delegation doesn't allow parallel powerdown) and stark limitations on what's "allowed".
The question ultimately is: why should people choose to park their money in HIVE if they could choose hundreds of other coins, where they aren't shamed about wanting to maximize their ROI/APY. Heck, even Steem is more lucrative right now.
Maybe the chart below also creates some idea of what people want.
They've given up curation and proof of brain for max ROI, we already tried that 2 years ago and it'll make them equally as common as any other PoS or DPoS coin. No one is entitled to farming post rewards. I agree we could come up with a solution to let stakeholders stake without having to delegate to curation but that doesn't mean they should receive max ROI without being involved in proof of brain - that's what makes Hive unique.
Did he seriously just do that?
Gotta try bringing it up any chance you get!
Oh look! A group of haters. Perfect opportunity...
...and he hates my sarcasm so I better shush. Just playin' Wolfie! woof woof!
Think it was a mix of that and this being a post that'll get a lot of views potentially!
Oh! Did I mention I'm an artist?!?!
Move along guys he got no NFT's, nothing to look here.
lol
So, how is that different from the old "whales" of Steem, now hive, that have all these power to vote, and usually vote on their own friends and "projects"?
What kills this place isn't smaller communities trying to play the same game old whales have been playing since day one of Steem...
What kills this place is the eternal hypocrisy of these whales, posing as "the guardians of Hive"
Probably cause piotr votes with his own account first:
and hey that's all fine, if you have trails and other accounts that follow you you're abiding by the rules of the blockchain (which will go linear in the next HF, though) and as a curator or curation project you may deserve those extra rewards for your hard work, curie has a big trail too, but trying to push your returns with this scheme, at the cost of authors and getting an edge over all other accounts on the blockchain this way by literally self-voting? Yeah, how about no.
Also we were talking about Steem's investors maximizing ROI by selling votes and vote-trading/sockpuppeting and there only being a few accounts actually curating with Steemit's stake so your comment is pretty unrelated in this reply.
I second you on that.
Did you seriously just do that?
Didn't know about the minimum 10 daily interactions. Is this a new rule? Any link how it works?
